  1. Bullshit iGossip on The Apple Two · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Wu is a douche.

  2. Headline once again on Making Closed Software Act Like It's Open · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The headline seems completely disconnected from text of the summary

  3. Re:Sounds good actually on Blu-ray Proposes Incompatible BD-XL and IH-BD Formats · · Score: 1

    Dozens of 100GB disks? You know, at some point, you have to dump your porn collection. Doesn't your wife nag you enough already?

  4. Sounds good actually on Blu-ray Proposes Incompatible BD-XL and IH-BD Formats · · Score: 1

    100GB burner sounds pretty good as a backup device. 25, 50 don't sounds so enticing - maybe it's the magic of the number 100.

    Of course, I have no Blu Ray player/burner, so I don't feel the churn like maybe some of you do. I think I'm in the majority, though.

  5. No good on "Midori" Concepts Materialize In .NET · · Score: 1

    It left sour taste in my mouth.

  6. Good pick on Amazon Reviewers Take on the Classics · · Score: 1

    Another story by samzenpus, for idle section as usual.

    But I actually RTFA this time, and was quite amused. Good pick, samzenpus.

  7. Does it... on Android Copy of Young Woman Unveiled In Japan · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does the android come with the tentacle monster? Or is it sold separately?

  8. Re:Listen to the police on Chicago Debates Merits of ShotSpotter Technology · · Score: 1

    Hearing how Chicago is run, police opposition might just be the best kind of endorsement there is.

    But, of course, I could be wrong. ;-)

  9. Re:Community involvement on Songbird Drops Linux Support · · Score: 1

    Are you sure that's your lawn you're standing in?

  10. Re:Alternatives on Songbird Drops Linux Support · · Score: 0, Troll

    XMMS 1.x is no longer supported and I hate the client/server model used in 2.x Amarok won't install without KDE and Rhythmbox is nearly unusable for my needs. Granted I am running FreeBSD.

    I heard the same problems plague Commodore 64 users, too. It's an outrage, I tell ya.

  11. Re:Define: "a few math courses to wrap up a degree on Help Me Get My Math Back? · · Score: 1

    I, too, had to use Strang's linear algebra text. I know bunch of you think the world of him/his text, but I couldn't stand that shit - yammering on and on instead of getting to the point.

    If I ever meet that dude, I'd kick his ass all the way out to China.

    And then I fly to China, and kick his ass again to Australia.

    And then I fly to Australia and...

  12. Re:If you can't handle calculus, science isnt for on Help Me Get My Math Back? · · Score: 1

    You must be a "scientist". ;)

  13. Re:If you can't handle calculus, science isnt for on Help Me Get My Math Back? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Many scientists misuse stats.

  14. Re:3...2...1... Wake up! on iPad Launches, FCC Teardown Leaked · · Score: 1

    Chill out. This is a family website.

  15. Newtonian physics on Help Me Get My Math Back? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I remember Newtonian mechanics as the best applied calculus class. If you didn't like calculus as math, maybe this will work out better for you. It links math with more physical (useful?) phenomena.

    If not, I don't have a clue what would help you, since I found college calculus much better than AP high school stuff.

  16. Re:Is this news? on What the Top US Companies Pay In Taxes · · Score: 1

    Only suckas pay tax. Sucka.

  17. Re:Size of Amazon's Book Catalog on Print-On-Demand Publisher VDM Infects Amazon · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many of those are "* For Dummy" titles.

  18. Re:3...2...1... Wake up! on iPad Launches, FCC Teardown Leaked · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I almost pulled out my wallet.

  19. Re:Precision of calculations on Exotic "Electroweak" Star Predicted · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yep, could persist for million years, give or take a billion or two.

  20. Re:Let the hating begin (on /. anyway) on iPad Launches, FCC Teardown Leaked · · Score: 1

    Stupid fanboi.

  21. WTF?! on The Struggle To Keep Java Relevant · · Score: 1

    What planet do these people live on? Worse yet, Timothy, my man, for fuck's sake, are there any "editors" with some programming experience? About the only one seems to be ScuttleMoney, you know, the one we piled tons of flak back in the days.

    I guess nothing good last forever.

  22. Re:HTML5 on Google Gets Quake II Running In HTML5 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's like adding lanes to choked freeways.

  23. "Botnet?" on Microsoft Fuzzing Botnet Finds 1,800 Office Bugs · · Score: 1

    What's the connection with "botnet"?

  24. Real funny thing on Scientists Say Toads Can Predict Earthquakes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nowadays, I can't tell the difference between your typical slashdot stories and April Fool's Day stories.

    Everyday is April Fool's day here.

  25. Finally some common sense on Yale Delays Move To Gmail · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It would be pathetic if Yale, one of the richest schools, can't spare some fund to maintain its own email system. Tuition there is, what, approaching 40k a year?
